Rayban sunglasses - where is best/cheapest place to buy them in the UK?

Options
I am looking to buy a pair of Rayban sunglasses to replace my 4 yr old pair that I bought in the USA and am wondering if anyone knows the best value place to buy them in this country.

I know that these are expensive sunglasses but am on my 3rd pair now and can honestly say that I know of no others that are as good and so I get lots of use from them - thus getting great cost per wear value!!

I have bought cheap ones in the past but have never been happy with them.

Many thanks if any of you can help at all:D

    Thanks for that suggestion - looks like a good site.

    Do you happen to know the situation as regards import tax etc from this site? Or is it down to luck whether or not the parcel is intercepted by our PO?!!:cool:

    I've found the quality at notdesigner.com to be high enough.. and they're cheap enough to get spares...

    I will let you know the exact details when they arrive as my brother has ordered a couple of pairs,
    It seems they are very efficient as a day after placing the order they sent an email confirming shipping,
    As said
    once they arrive I will post more exact details

    Just to say glasses arrived yesterday (fast for the UK let alone the USA),came well packed then in a small box and finally in a rayban case with popper fastener,no problem with import duty

    My husband has a pair of polarised RayBans he bought last year, they are fantastic. So clear & crisp.

    Yes, they really are unbeatable in my view and worth every penny - especially if you need to wear sunglasses a lot as I do!
